That's on my todo list as it was pretty high on the whishlist in the
comments I've received so far. That and file permissions. Currently it's
a bit of a mess, logs and configs get written right in the program
directories.

Since I'm running it on gentoo that's exactly where the files already
are on my system :-)

Now THAT's really great news. I haven't yet tried the UI stuff but the
screenshots I've seen sure look nice. Does the UI still work with the
current mythbtvburn.sh script? Around march the cutlist support was
added to CVS, which changes the commandline for mythtvburn (file1 file2
file3 becomes file1 cut file2 nocut file3 nocut), i.e each file is
followed by the cutflag for that file.

No Idea. Let's CC mythtv-dev and see if we get any comments :-)
